In June of 2006 I was replacing empty feeders with clean ones and this hummingbird landed on the feeder as I was carrying it to the pole. I stopped instantly and stood perfectly still because motion will scare hummingbirds away. From this came the clips you will see in this video. It would eat from any feeder or cut flower that I would offer. Someone suggested I try to feed it directly from my palm and success came the first day I tried. This hummingbird continued this behavior until his 2006 migration to Central America. In April of 2007 he returned to the same little plot of land in Louisville, Ky for more of the same behavior.

High definition videos of hummingbirds for all hummingbird fans to enjoy. Hummingbirds eating from hand-held feeders, hand-held flowers and directly from the palm of my hand can be viewed here. Some video clips of hummingbirds translucent-forked tongue and many up close shots of them at feeders, at flowers, preening and just doing what hummingbirds do are shown. Excellent video of mother hummingbird feeding babies and also the babies first flight can be enjoyed in a video by Jon Ching.
Thanks for visiting and share our videos with your friends that might enjoy them.
